Dietary Characteristics Associated With High Defecation Frequency and Constipation in Japanese Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Study
This study found a correlation between increased defecation frequency and obesity-related characteristics, such as elevated BMI, triglycerides, and hepatic enzyme levels, in both men and women. Fiber-rich food intake may have a preventive effect against constipation, whereas skipping breakfast every day was associated with constipation prevalence in both sexes.
